Cheer up! It's a Cataclysm out there. [WIPTiles 16x16]

[Tsu]

I somewhat suspect there might be something wrong with how it places halfboards on vehicles…

Added in some simple block replacements for now… But even after adding all the halfboards mentioned on page three there are two missing tiles on the back of the upper left vehicle, I don’t know what I am missing…

[system]

It looks like the halfboard parts are named as follows:

[ul][li]vp_halfboard_horizontal[/li]
[li]vp_halfboard_vertical[/li]
[li]vp_halfboard_nw[/li]
[li]vp_halfboard_ne[/li]
[li]vp_halfboard_se[/li]
[li]vp_halfboard_sw[/li]
[li]vp_halfboard_horizontal_2[/li]
[li]vp_halfboard_vertical_2[/li]
[li]vp_halfboard_cover[/li][/ul]

I just set each to the same tile as their vp_frame_* counterpart, which looks decent.

Here’s a diff versus your last experimental tile_config.json:

Yeah, I know how they are called for in the .JSON. The problem appears to be that they do not tile in a manner similar to F.ex Aisles. Aisles will tile with corners seamlessly, But these don’t seem to follow their designations.

I’ve marked the corner tiles with their directions on the actual tile here.

[system]

Ah, I thought the problem you were having was the ‘no tile’ thing in your last screenshot. Unfortunately, I don’t know anything about tile rotation.

[StopSignal]

Oh, JOLLY IT IS!

Loving it. Really good so far!

But what really bugs me is your survivor… D:

Also, can i ask you a favor? Looks like Hoder works more or less bad for me, with the cars. Can you update the code of the current Hoder and pass it so i can soo how Hoder would have wanted to do the cars? Thanks for now, even if you can’t.

Good looking cars BTW.

Maybe ill just download yours and put Hoder over it to see what happens. Sorry if it maybe bothers you somehow to read this.

[Tsu]

Not sure I entirely understand the question. I had to add a fair ammount of tiles for vehicles already, Hoder had tiles for doors and aisles and the basic frames though. Plus a lot of the detail stuff that doesn’t really appear too often in vehicles. (Not sure they’re used really in the display…)

But no, ultimately I won’t be supporting other peoples tilesets as I’m developing my own one - Which at the moment means having several versions of that even for testing.

The male survivor will probably be updated in the future, he was one of my first additions, and I find I am much happier with the lady.

EDIT: If you would like to use my .json with hoders tileset, look at the tiles at the bottom of the tileset.png. Some of those would probably have to be removed from the code to avoid duplicates. You’d also have to use one of the experimental .jsons so that the vehicle ID’s are correct.
Good luck.

I’ve been having a bit of a play through with this set and it’s really great. I just have one suggestion: Grass.
I know the tiles give it a more colourful feel currently, but I think it’d look really great if you could move the grass colours all a bit closer to each other (so closer shades of green). This is because currently I feel they look almost like different objects (obviously not actually objects, but that they’re very different) and I also think it’d give a nicer textured look as well.

Just a thought, and I know it might look less colourful, but I do think it’d help give it a pleasant view whilst strolling through endless fields.

[Tsu]

The different shades mostly exist to stop you going blind from one single colour. The colour balance on them could be addressed though, I agree there.

[Tsu]

I am aware I haven’t updated this lately, but that will change within the coming days. I ended up focusing too much on vehicles and it kind of burnt out some of my inspiration, which is why development slowed.

If anyone notices any missing tiles in their playthroughs, please tell me - I am currently going around all kinds of different places looking for bugs, after that I will start polishing current tiles to fit the theme better.

[GalenEvil]

caltrops… I think are missing o.O

[Tsu]

What’s a caltrop?

[Tsu]

Added caltrops!
And fixed vehicles ( I hope. I really hope this time. )

Also some other minor tweaks and additions, something had broken which left the tilemap a little off center.

I have no clue what a caltrop is, I just know that they are apparently traps O.o

I have no clue what a caltrop is, I just know that they are apparently traps O.o

Caltrops are a 4-pronged spike that you throw out on the ground. They support themselves on three of the spikes, leaving the fourth pointing straight up.

When hostiles come through, they either slow down and avoid them, or step on the spikes, take damage, and (not yet) are Slowed thanks to having pointy metal jammed in their feet. Ought to rack up Pain if a player hits 'em.

By comparison, though, they’re fairly easy to sweep up and clear if you’ve a few minutes.

(You can achieve similar effects with d4s, Lego bricks, or jacks left laying around on a floor. )

The version as of http://ge.tt/2NvqhBw/v/0?c
is checked into the main branch, and is present in the latest experimental builds.

[Tsu]

Sweet Kevin, cheers!

As for the calteops. I added them to the tileset after googling, so they’re in there. both the “on the ground” and the trap version. So woohoo. they needed a bg tile though, like many other things, so one version has grass and the other version asphalt. That is presumably a temporary necessity… if not I will try to make a workaround later.

[Tsu]

Not really a full update…

But that has Pumpkins for heads on our brave male and female hero/ine. And a Question mark for footstep sounds.
I am aware a lot of animals are missing, and books have apparently been added aswell. I might work on this later this week if I have time, but as I am travelling those will be “No Tile” for a while.

There’s just too much new stuff for me to be able to work it all up in a night.

[Tsu]

Just a little bump here!

I am back from my trip and have some time to work on this again, So I will be looking for new stuff to add in and particularly be fixing the few things I managed to write down before I left…

If anyone who has been playing with the tileset has anything they would like to mention to me; I.e missing tiles for new additions to the game, that would be great, as I am horrible at navigating github for new tile requirements.
Hoping to have another update up in a few days

[Tsu]

Ge.tt | Gett sharing

A whole bunch of additions and changes, Zombie hunters, Bears, Zombears, snakes, giant things, trees that have fallen over, and fixes to various issues that arose since the last update - Someone buggered up pits btw, so they tile twice!

I am aware a bunch of books are still missing tiles… about half I guess, but it takes so much just plain labour to add them to the json, so I will continue it later.

[Binky]

The different shades mostly exist to stop you going blind from one single colour. The colour balance on them could be addressed though, I agree there.

I definitely agree that they should never, ever, ever be all a single shade, but I think just bringing them in a few shades closer together would stop some bits looking like objects/things.

Also, I’m finding it very difficult to spot bodies/items scattered about the wilderness (like when you see groups of dead soldiers scattered about) - even if there are quite a few of them in the open, as the colour of their objects is too similar to the surrounding grass/bushes tiles. I know this is probably extremely hard to fix, but I just thought I’d mention it in case you had any ideas of how to differentiate them more.
